A method of forming a capacitor structure includes forming a mold layer on a substrate, in which the substrate includes a plurality of plugs therein, partially removing the mold layer to form a plurality of openings, in which the plugs are exposed by the openings, forming a plurality of lower electrodes filling the openings, in which the lower electrodes have a pillar shape, removing an upper portion of the mold layer to expose upper portions of the lower electrodes, forming a supporting pattern on exposed upper sidewalls of the lower electrodes and on the mold layer, removing the mold layer, and sequentially forming a dielectric layer and an upper electrode on the lower electrodes and the supporting pattern.
Abstract:
A vertical semiconductor device includes a conductive pattern structure in which insulation patterns and conductive patterns alternately and repeatedly stacked on the substrate. The conductive pattern structure includes an edge portion having a stair-stepped shape. Each of the conductive patterns includes a pad region corresponding to an upper surface of a stair in the edge portion. A pad conductive pattern is disposed to contact a portion of an upper surface of the pad region. A mask pattern is disposed on an upper surface of the pad conductive pattern. A contact plug penetrates the mask pattern to contact the pad conductive pattern.

In a method of manufacturing a vertical semiconductor device, an insulation layer and a sacrificial layer are alternatively and repeatedly formed on a substrate to define a structure. The structure is etched to form a hole therethrough that exposes the substrate. A first semiconductor pattern is formed in a lower portion of the hole, and a blocking pattern, a charge storage pattern, a tunnel insulation pattern and a first channel pattern are formed on a sidewall of the hole. A second channel pattern is formed on the first channel pattern and the semiconductor pattern, and a second semiconductor pattern is formed on a portion of the second channel pattern on the semiconductor pattern to define an upper channel pattern including the second channel pattern and the second semiconductor pattern. The sacrificial layers are replaced with a plurality of gates, respectively, including a conductive material.
